AN exchange says: "Alfred Wright,
OF Los Angeles, was a fruit pest in
spector in 1885, in that county, and
drew salary of $1lO0 ior his services
as such. Last week, however, he
moved to Pomona, and brought with
him carload of trees and goods, the
trees being covered with the cottony
cushion scale. The people of Pomona
felt outraged at his conduct and his
refusal to have the trees disinfected, +,
and had him arrested. Better burn
up the car and contents rather than
land single infected tree in fair Po-
mona. Pomona people should give
Mr.. Wright to understand that they
are not to be fooled with" How
would it do to burn Wright with the
pests? That would prove to him that
Pomona means business. But would
that be right? Perhaps it would not
be Wright after the confagration. But
would it be wrong?
